Processes like this are our only hope of salvation but you can bet your last shekel that before the process is allowed to be put touse on a large scale basis, the developer will have to go through years of costly litigation launched by the environmentalist and backed by the oil barons.

David: “the luddites–stupidity–who want us to descend into the darkness of energy deprivation.”

Ain’t that the truth. The thought of SUV’s with an endless and renewable supply of affordable fuel is enough to make an emo cut his wrists. O Happy Day!

Do you have a link to the original source? I would find that interesting.

Thanks

This could certainly be another arrow in the quiver. Along with nuclear energy (pebble bed reactors are at least as safe as hydropower, the waste disposal issue is a no-brainer, and MIT has placed plans for a modular PBR in the public domain), thermal polymer reaction plants (that do much the same thing as the process mentioned above, using virtually any hydrocarbon containing material from packing plant waste to sewage) and even satellite power stations: there are more than a few options that are technically feasible right now, with off-the-shelf technology.

The only problems are overcoming the political barriers and the intertia of the installed base of energy production.

Of the two, the political barriers are both the easiest to see and perhaps the most difficult to overcome, in part because of the intertia of the installed base of energy producers–greed–and in psrt because of the luddites–stupidity–who want us to descend into the darkness of energy deprivation.

But then, greed and stupidity (well, along with envy) are usually at the root of most of our problems.
